Yogi Adityanath lauds PM Modi as India begins G20 presidency

Lucknow: India is shaping new paradigms for human-centric globalisation, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said on Thursday, congratulating Prime Minister Narendra Modi as the country formally began its G-20 presidency.

India was handed over the presidency of the influential bloc at the end of the two-day G20 summit in Bali, hosted by Indonesia last month. The next G20 Leaders' Summit at the heads of state or government level is scheduled to be held on September 9 and 10 in New Delhi.

"Under leadership of Hon. PM Shri @narendramodi Ji, India is shaping new paradigms of human centric globalisation encompassing the generous and sublime spirit of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam'. G-20 presidency is a clear proof of this," Adityanath tweeted.
